Immunological Response

Meaning

The immunological response represents the coordinated biological reaction of the immune system to recognize and eliminate foreign pathogens or altered self-cells, maintaining physiological integrity and surveillance. This complex cascade involves both innate and adaptive arms, utilizing cytokines, antibodies, and specialized cells to achieve effective immune defense. Hormonal balance is inextricably linked to immune function, as endocrine signals profoundly modulate the magnitude, duration, and nature of this response.
